00:00First things first, presented by Santa Anita and I'm here with two of my favorite jockeys,
00:09Frankie Dottori and Hall of Famer Mike Smith here and guys, we're going to Saudi, right?
00:16We're going to Saudi, yeah.
00:17We're going to Saudi.
00:18You're wearing the same colors.
00:19Yes.
00:20Are we in the same race?
00:21I'm not sure.
00:22You guys have both ridden there before.
00:25Mike, it's cost you money a couple of times when you've ridden there before.
00:29Tell me about your chances going forward with Tabor.
00:32First of all, I plan on being a very good boy.
00:34Okay.
00:35I abide by the rules and he's training extremely well.
00:38He's a very, very talented horse.
00:40One mile, one turn, should be right up the valley.
00:45Given the opportunity, he should run very well.
00:48What about you?
00:49You're both riding for the same guy.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Now, Bob basically said he's taking the two oldest guys in the room.
00:53That is right, right?
00:54That's how good he is.
00:55You got that right.
00:56That fact, right?
00:57Yes.
00:58Country Grandma, yeah.
00:59He was second last year.
01:00Solid horse.
01:01Does not know how to run a bad race.
01:02Obviously, he's a little bit over the fever, but he's able to run his solid usual race,
01:03so I'm expecting a good run.
01:04These are two kinds of horses where you have to pedal.
01:05We've seen Tabor working.
01:06He only goes as fast as you ride him.
01:07Country Grandma, pretty much the same thing.
01:08You guys fit enough to get rolling?
01:09We should be.
01:10We should be.
01:11We should be.
01:12We should be.
01:13We should be.
01:14We should be.
01:15We should be.
01:16We should be.
01:17We should be.
01:18We should be.
01:19We should be.
01:20We should be.
01:21We should be.
01:22You guys fit enough to get rolling?
01:23We should be.
01:24We should be.
01:25We are.
01:2640 years, we're probably close to 100 between us.
01:27That's right.
01:28Of doing this day in and day out, and look, these guys are in better shape right now than
01:29I think I've ever been.
01:30I'm riding like a 20 year old right now.
01:31Four races yesterday?
01:32Four yesterday, and I'm just . . .
01:33All that because Mike was out of time.
01:34No.
01:35It's a little bit easier for me.
01:36I'm staying as fit as can be, so we're both ready, and we made the best horse to win.
01:37Look at, there's Tabor.
01:38There's Tabor.
01:39Tabor.
01:40There's Tabor.
01:41That's Tabor.
01:42All right.
01:43We'll see.
01:52There's going to be a lot of others in there, they're not very soft.
01:56It's not going to be a give-me, you know what I mean?
01:58It's going to be a very tough competition.
02:00Let's hope we get a decent draw and let's hope the rest of them shoot well,
02:04you know, because they're going to have to go around the world,
02:05so it's not just around the corner.
02:07So we're just fingers crossed that they're in good health.
02:10Guys, wishing you both the best of luck.
02:16Should we do some push-ups?
02:17I'm still getting used to this.
02:18No, I might not get up!
